What are LED IP Ratings?

2016 10/20

IP ratings measure the amount of protection flexible LED Strip Lights get from the elements.
LED Strip Lights can come in waterproof and non-waterproof applications.
To choose the right LED Strip Light, first assess the conditions that the LED Lights will be subjected to. Will they be indoor? Outdoor? Rainy areas? Desert climate? etc.

IP is an acronym " Ingress Protection ".
Each IP rating has 2 numbers. The first number refers to the protection against solid objects (dust, etc) and the second number refers to liquid protection.
Look below for our chart on IP Ratings. Our Trump Lighting™ LED Strip Lights come outdoor IP68 rated or a lower IP rating for indoor purposes.

Example: With an IP65 rating, the LEDs can be used in an outside setting and are water-resistant but they are not waterproof and are not suitable to be submerged. An IP68 can be submerged in water.

Waterproof LEDs also have higher protection against foot traffic. Example would be movie theater aisles, yard pathways, staircases, restaurant bars, club floors, yacht deck lighting.
